How to Make a Pin Vise
- 1). Cut off the top portion of a drum stick 3 inches from the tip with a hand saw.
- 2). Smooth the cut end of the drum stick with sandpaper.
- 3). Drill a 1/8-inch hole into the center of the drum stick's tip. This creates the pin hole. Use a power drill and 1/8-inch drill bit.
- 4). Apply petroleum jelly around the surface of a 1/8-inch pin.
- 5). Squeeze super glue into the pin hole. Insert the 1/8-inch pin into the pin hole. The petroleum jelly keeps the surface of the pin from sticking to the super glue.
- 6). Allow the super glue dry for 20 seconds. Remove the 1/8-inch pin. The super glue tightens the pin hole, which makes it more secure when the pin needs to be reinserted.
